According to multiple reports, the Eagles and Seattle Seahawks have negotiated a trade in which the veteran defensive end will come to Philadelphia along with a seventh-round pick for a fifth-round pick and wide receiver Marcus Johnson.

No trades can be executed, however, until the start of the new league year next Wednesday,

This is expected to bolster the team’s pass rush and lower its salary cap figure for 2018 if Vinny Curry is traded or released, which was widely regarded to be possible even before the trade.

Bennett (6-4, 270) is 32 and coming off a season in which he produced 8.5 sacks on his way to the Pro Bowl. He had a career-high 10 sacks in 2015 and 5 last season, in which he missed five games.

Those games were the only ones he missed since joining the Seahawks in 2013 after four seasons with Tampa Bay.

His contract is as attractive as his skill set.

Bennett will count $6.7 million against the cap this season. That is a considerably lower figure than Curry’s hit of $11 million.

Bottom line: if Bennett ends up replacing Curry on the roster, the Eagles will trim more than $4 million from their cap while arguably improving their product.

Bennett comes with some baggage, however.

He struggled with plantar fascia and knee issues last season, even though he didn’t miss a game.

He also became increasingly outspoken on social issues after alleging that police used excessive force against him when he was detained following an incident in Las Vegas last offseason.

In 2017, Bennett chose to sit out the national anthem before every game, except two in which he wanted to show support for the military.

With the Eagles, he’s expected to rush from the inside along with Fletcher Cox on most passing downs.

That’s what he did with Seattle last season, when his 24 quarterback hits were more than any Eagle had last season.

Establishing the D-line rotation could be tricky as well. Even if Curry is out of the picture, the Eagles are still expected to have defensive ends Brandon Graham, Chris Long, Steven Means and last year’s first-round draft pick, Derek Barnett.

With Bennett as well as Graham able to rush from the inside, it could mean the Eagles will go lighter at defensive tackle if they lose Beau Allen to free agency. Cox and Tim Jernigan are the starters. Destiny Vaeao and Elijah Qualls could theoretically handle the backup spots without the Eagles losing an edge.

Seattle is undergoing a bit of a facelift after missing the playoffs last season. Pete Carroll overhauled his coaching staff and hinted that the team could be in the market to trade Bennett.

Bennett sensed it was coming too.

“I’ll be fine,” Bennett told reporters during last season. “Whatever happens, I’ve loved being a Seahawk. I’ve had a great career with the Seahawks. You just keep growing and keep playing the best you can. You love the organization and you love the players that you played with. I’ve won a lot of games. So if I’m not here, I would never have any hard feelings toward the organization.

“I love Pete Carroll and [GM] John Schneider and you just move forward. This is a part of football. This is a part of the sport. You move forward and play for another organization if you get the opportunity.”
